Lucky magazine hosts pre-holiday shopping event

NEW YORK — Lucky Magazine is hosting its sixth annual pre-holiday “Lucky Shops” event Nov. 6-7.

Nearly 10,000 shoppers from 35 different states attended last year’s Lucky Shops.

The event showcases designer clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry and other items, with most selling at up to 75 percent off retail. The merchandise is offered in a fun, lounge-like environment with music, drinks and giveaways.

Among the dozens of designers and manufacturers whose fashions, accessories and products will be sold are Jill Stuart, Vera Wang, Tommy Hilfiger, Ed Hardy Fragrance, Maybelline New York and Kate Spade.

The event will also feature a limited-edition collection for Lucky Magazine and the Home Shopping Network to be sold at HSN’s boutique at the Lucky Shops event and on HSN.com. The Designer Capsule Collection includes pieces by Rebecca Taylor, Shoshanna, Tracy Reese, Rebecca Minkoff, Abbe Held of Kooba, Helen Ficalora, and Gerard Yosca.

Another specialty boutique at Lucky Shops will be “Shops for Success,” featuring lightly used designer and one-of-a-kind items from Calvin Klein, Diane Von Furstenberg, Oscar de la Renta, and Dolce & Gabanna, as well as vintage designer pieces donated by celebrities. All proceeds from the “Shops for Success” boutique benefit Dress for Success, a nonprofit organization that provides clothing, support and career development for disadvantaged women.

Lucky Shops will also include a Boudoir Bar for lingerie, a Jeanius Bar for denim (free hemming while you wait), a Garnier Fructis Beauty Bar with free hair touch-ups and styling, and boutiques for Havaianas flip-flops and a new Nine West collection called “Vintage America.”

The event takes place at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St. Tickets for Nov. 6 are $35 and for Nov. 7, $20. Details at www.luckyshops.com or 866-458-2598.
